Same here so I double dipped...I may of dreamed this but I thought some of the earlier releases came with a fake syringe so you could inject rabies into your meat pies....an early dvd of Re-animator did the same but instead of rabies it was with reanimation fluid....

I like it but it's no Witchfinder General or Mark of the Devil style film. It's as much an allegory about the Communist occupation of Czechoslovakia at the time.

Expect lot's of trial scenes with well staged burnings. As i say i like it. I have that same dvd
